Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: WAT-WIL
WATTENBACH, WILHELM (18191897) , German historian, was born at Ranzau in Holstein on the 22nd of September 1819. He studied philology at the universities of
Bonn
 , Gottingen and Berlin, and in 1843 he began to
work
  upon the Monumenta Germaniae histories'. In 1855 he was appointed archivist at Breslau; in 1862 he became professor of history at
Heidelberg
 , and ten years later professor at Berlin, where he was a member of the directing
body
  of the Monumenta and 'a member of the
Academy
 . He died at Frankfort on the 21st of September 1897.
Wattenbach
  was distinguished by his thorough knowledge of the chronicles and other
original
  documents of the middle ages, and his most valuable
work
  was done in this field.
His
principal
  book, Deutschlands Geschichtsquellen im Mittelalter bis zur Mitte des 13. Jahrhunderts, is unrivalled as a guide to the sources of the history of Germany in the middle ages; this was first published in 1858, and has passed through several editions. Cognate works are his Anleitung zur lateinischen Palaographie (
Leipzig
 , 1869, and again 1886) ; and Das Schriftwesen im Mittelalter (
Leipzig
 , 1871, and again 1896).
Wattenbach
  also wrote Beitrdge zur Geschichte der christlichen Kirche in Bohmen and Mahsen (Vienna, 1849); Geschichte des romischen Papsttums (Berlin, 1876) ; and Anleitung zur griechischen Palaographie (Leipzig, 1867, and again 1895).
